ICOM Simulations was a video game company. Founded in 1981 by Tod Zipnick as TMQ Software, the company's best-known products were the [=MacVenture=] adventure games originally developed for the black-and-white AppleMacintosh.

In 1993, two years after Zipnick's death, Viacom bought the company and renamed it to Viacom New Media. The company was subsequently renamed to Rabid Entertainment before being shut down in early 1998. The rights to the old ICOM games then passed to Infinite Ventures, a company started by former ICOM employee Eugene Evans. Infinite Ventures closed down around 2008, but was succeeded in 2012 by Zojoi, a new company formed by ex-[=MacVenture=] developers David Marsh & Karl Roelofs.
